Chapter 258 Minsk’s temporary withdrawal

Wang: "Then can you...that is, can you contact some familiar dwarf craftsmen?"

Gaines asked in confusion: "What to do? As far as I know, none of the dwarf craftsmen are familiar with the technology of the Cyclops Empire..."

Wang: "I want to build a power system on this island."

Gaines frowned slightly: "You may not know that electricity requires a magic device with a constant lightning spell as the core, and then an insulated room as a 'discharge room'."

As he spoke, the dwarf pointed to the airship in the sky: "There is one on the airship. Do you have such a device?"

Wang: "I don't. But I have a more convenient way to generate electricity. I will demonstrate it to you when the craftsmen come to the island."

Gaines nodded: "Wisdom from the planeswalkers. Okay, I'll go find the Crusaders and ask them to help deliver a message to my friends. As long as the planeswalkers' disciples want to share new knowledge, I I think many people would like to come.

"But you are really weird."

Wang raised his eyebrows: "What's so strange?"

Gaines: "You said you wanted to examine me as a bard, but now you are willing to trust the craftsman I hired. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Wang: "The problem is that I have no other channel to find the dwarf craftsmen, and there are so many people on the island all of a sudden. These people have to communicate with the outside world, and the leakage of intelligence has long been a certainty.

"So I'm not afraid that there are spies among the craftsmen you hired. But it's different if you join the salvation team. You will know our core secrets, so you have to investigate."

Gaines smiled and said: "You have obviously included a guy like Minsk in the rescue team. Let me tell you, that guy is not trustworthy, and his reputation is very bad.

"He is an eighth-level mage, and he has gotten so far that no one wants to work for him. It's because he betrays his employer all day long."

Wang: "You also know Minsk?"

Gaines: "I don't know what he looks like, but I know there is an eighth-ring mage named Minsk. After being caught, you can go to more than a dozen places to collect rewards, so you can't just catch him, you have to cut him up carefully." Make saozi and divide it into many portions to go to different places to receive rewards."

Wang exclaimed: "It's not easy to be like this. But you are wrong about one thing. He did not join the rescue team."

Gaines: "Really?"

Wang: "And we will hand him over to Lancelot's order immediately."

Gaines: "I didn't expect this, so he is really not the Savior Team? As far as I know, the Salvation Team lacks the ability to cast spells. Is it okay to just let an eighth-ring mage go?"

Wang: "We have partially solved the problem of lack of spellcasting ability. Now we have countermeasures against high-level spellcasters."

"Okay then. Anyway, I'm going to write a letter to my old friends and take my leave first." Keynes bowed slightly and walked towards the Crusaders.

Wang Yi clapped his hands: "Done."

At this time, the sound transmission stone in Wang's pocket suddenly sounded.

After the connection, Marika's voice came from the sound stone: "He ran away from Minsk! He tore up a scroll in front of all of us and disappeared!"

Wang: "You didn't stop him from tearing up the scroll?"

"I stopped him, but he had a trigger spell on him, so my dagger and the barbarian's ax failed."

Wang: "Just leave. He has been ready to escape for a long time. It's probably just because I said I had something important to tell him that he waited until now."

Marika: "Then how do you explain it to the Order?"

Wang: "I'll go talk to the religious group."

**
"In short, this is the situation." Wang spread his hands in front of Pietro, "Minsk ran away, you can use any method to verify this."

Teresa said angrily: "I don't believe it! This is obviously because you want to protect this wanted criminal! Do you know how many forces want him?"

Wang: "I think that the fact that he is still alive and kicking when so many forces want him shows that he has an amazing ability to escape."

Teresa was about to retort when Pietro raised a hand to stop her.

"It doesn't matter, the old liar is just an extra. Eliminating the lich is the real thing." As he spoke, Pietro looked into the king's eyes, "But, Your Excellency, City Lord, if the rescue team wants to save the world, the help of the Lancelot Order is essential." Less. Please remember this.”

Wang: "I remember. Originally we were planning to hand him over to your church, but Minsk caught him off guard. By the way, we suspected that Minsk also sold our information to the Austrian and French Federation, so today we Only then would they be attacked by the Austrian and French Federation.

"In this case, what reason do we have to protect him?"

Pietro nodded, but Teresa was obviously unconvinced, but it was just because of the bishop's face that it was difficult to show it.

The Cardinal changed the subject: "Accompanied by Princess Rosalie, I chose the location of the temple, Teresa."

Teresa stepped forward reluctantly and handed over a roll of parchment.

The archbishop unfolded the parchment on the table next to him, and the king discovered that it was a map of the floating island, with the locations of all important buildings drawn: Kailin's "temple", the water vapor collection device, the self-police group's barracks, and the access to the central control room. Elevator and common entrance to the ground floor, etc.

In addition, the patrol routes of the civilian systems on the island are also marked on the map. It is obvious that the cult regards the golem as part of the island's defense force.

However, this map does not mark the location of the "heavy defense units", apparently treating them as ordinary ruins.

Pietro: "Originally we were inclined to place the temple in the center of the island, but Lady Rosalie emphasized that the center of the island must be the future city lord's palace, so in the end we set the temple in the direction of the rising sun." As he spoke, he placed his finger on The east side of the map.

"This is it. The first batch of stones has been arranged for expedited delivery."

Wang nodded: "I have no objection."

Pietro: "In addition, we are also paying close attention to the selection of our priest. Taking into account the preferences of the Lord of the City, the religious order is preparing to send a nun."

Wang: "I don't know your rules. Can a nun serve as a parish priest?"

Pietro: "Of course, but we generally don't do this. The temple and the monastery each have their own responsibilities. The temple is responsible for spreading the teachings of our Lord, and the monastery is responsible for showing the mercy of our Lord.

"But both are servants of my Lord."

Wang: "Okay, but I want to emphasize that it is wrong for you to say 'according to my preferences'. I do not have the preferences as rumored."

Pietro nodded: "That was my mistake. I'm very sorry."

Wang: “So it’s no problem to switch to a male pastor.”

"But sending a nun is a decision approved by the Pope himself, and it is difficult to change it now. But if you really care so much, we can send an old nun." Pietro said.

Wang hesitated for a moment and replied: "That's okay. Grandma's level as a pastor must be very high."

Pietro: "I will convey your message to the headquarters."

Elizabeth breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

**
In the next few days, things developed faster than Wang expected.

First of all, the construction speed of Lancelot Temple exceeded his expectation.

On the third day after the site selection, the airship transported stone and wood, and a building with stone walls + wooden beams and tile roof was quickly completed.

They even gave the building stained glass windows.

However, after the church was built, the promised nuns did not arrive, so the pastor of the Crusade advance team temporarily served as the priest.

The second crusaders arrived a week later, not only bringing paladins and priests armed to the teeth, but also the first batch of supplies for the floating city.

Rosalie set up a stall in the center of the floating island and distributed the clothes, daily necessities, etc. she had just obtained to the people.

As a result, everything was snatched away in the blink of an eye.

Then Rosalie found Wang: "We have to distribute coins, otherwise there will be problems with the distribution of supplies on the island. I just distributed things, and many people took advantage of the chaos to get a few extra copies."

Wang: "Can't we let them buy it with ordinary gold coins?"

Rosalie sighed: "Look at the survivors on the island, who has money? And with the current situation on the island, no one has a safe place to store gold coins. Gold coins are too big and heavy. In Munro Everyone in Via does not store gold coins in their own homes, but in mints or goldsmiths.

"And there is no such place on our island."

Wang: "What about your suggestion?"

"Issuing bills, there are large commercial houses in Monrovia that have done this. My father's finance minister once considered using the royal authority to endorse and issue national bills - that is, banknotes, but the big nobles pushed back." Rosalie said.

Wang: "Why did the nobles fight back?"

Rosalie: "How do I know? I was only six years old when this happened. But I think since the Great Chamber of Commerce can do this, so can we."

Wang: "Okay, when the dwarf craftsmen arrive, let them build a printing house that can print some banknotes. Their technology can make the banknotes difficult to counterfeit."

"Then what should we do now?" Rosalie asked, "I suggest that we issue temporary bills now and use magic to prevent counterfeiting."

Wang: "You want me to use magic to stamp the issued notes? But ordinary people have no way to verify the authenticity of this kind of magic mark. Only a mage can tell whether it was left by me or someone else." of."

Rosalie: "That's right, I didn't consider this."

Wang: "In this way, we first take out the copper plates from the inventory and re-define the value of the copper plates. Copper plates are smaller and lighter than gold coins, and they are not precious metals themselves. This can partially solve the storage problem."

Rosalie: "With copper plates?"

Wang: "Yes, you just need to re-define the value of copper plates. For example, one copper plate for a chair, ten copper plates for a good set of clothes. You can decide the specific price according to the situation. You know better than me."

"This way, when we let the people from the Pelican Gang work in the future, they won't have to work in vain and they will be given copper coins. When the next shipment of supplies arrives, those who work more for the Floating City will be able to get more supplies."

"A good idea." Rosalie just nodded and smiled again, "But I always feel that all the copper coins will be taken to Flint's temple in exchange for Shire spirits."

Wang: "Then the wine will be provided for free. Anyway, the wine in Flint is made of water, so let him supply it as plain water."

Rosalie: "Okay, then I will immediately start the work of issuing copper coins and setting prices."
